New Art Space Coming to Lincoln Drive

Get a look at a new business coming to West Mt. Airy.

What once was a gas station could soon be a showcase for artists and merchants of all stripes, once Carlton Tolbert gets through with it. Tolbert owns the property at 7061 Lincoln Drive in West Mt. Airy. He hopes to repurpose and reopen the space behind the CVS as Showcase Station, a self-styled variety store that will sell packaged food. The real appeal of the space, he said, is its versatility. “It’s essentially a white box,” he said. “It used to be a gas station, so it has high ceilings and it’s really a very adaptable space.” Tolbert says he hopes to use property to host pop-up events for area artists and merchants to showcase their work and sell their products. “We want this to be something special for [people] who might not have a …

West Mt. Airy: "Hot, Up-and-Coming Neighborhood?"

Half of Mt. Airy was discussed as one of the city's in-demand places in 2013.

Though this might come as no surprise to the residents of West Mt. Airy, that neighborhood is predicted to become quite the hot spot in 2013. By the calculus of the real estate mavens over at Redfin (via Philly.curbed.com), West Mt. Airy was targeted as one "of a handful of neighborhoods that [are] suspected to see a surge of activity" in 2013. The bad news: West Mt. Airy wasn't named the "The No.1 Hottest Up-and-Coming Neighborhood." Our buddies over in Phoenixville were given that distinction, despite them, you know, not being a city neighborhood. The kind-of good news: West Germantown came in as the third hottest city neighborhood. Read the Philly.curbed.com story here, or swing by Redfin for their explanation of the rankings.

The comment of "kind of good news" is very sad and perhaps the writer should have cheered that Northwest Philadelphia as a whole is a place on the rise. We need to come together and embrace what was once all Germantown and work together to celebrate what makes all these neighborhoods special and use that continues success to work on improving the issues that plague sections rather than dismissing…   more ›

West Mt. Airy Tow Truck Scam in Full Force

The scam has been ongoing for the past little while.

Several scams have been going on in West Mt. Airy that have involved people asking for money in unusual ways, according to police. 14th Police District Capt. Joel Dales said on his new Twitter account that a man has been posing as a tow truck driver. "According to the complainants, the male knocked on their door and said their neighbor was hospitalized after being involved in an auto accident," Dales wrote. "The scammer then told the complainants he towed their neighbor’s car home and wanted to leave the keys with them. "The scammer usually asks the victim to pay for the towing fees." Dales advised people to not give the man—who is tall and has a beard—any money and to call police if he approaches their home. A similar scam took place in …
